Nathan's Honda CRX

I purchased this car in April 2003 - a 1989 Honda CRX HF. Like my first car (a 1979 Datsun 210 wagon), it's about 13 years old, gets good milage, and is slightly beat up. I haven't owned a car since 1994 though, and have only been driving occasionally around the Boston area.

It's a 5-speed manual, with about 105,000 miles. The body will probably fall apart before the engine does.

Virtues:

• 45 MPG in highway driving.
• Small enough to park easily in Cambridge.
• Decent cargo space ("25 flats of soda or three undergraduates", according to the previous owners).
• Cheap.

• Only two seats (the downside of "small" and "good milage").
• Risk of being squshed like a bug under a SUV.

• Left channel audio doesn't work. I fear the speaker killed the amp channel.
